Range is one of the biggest factors buyers consider before purchasing an electric scooter. The good news is that today's EVs can travel much farther on a single charge than they could a few years ago.

Price - 1.40 lakh (ex-showroom)
The Ola S1 Pro sits at the top of this list with a claimed IDC range of 242km. It is one of the longest-range electric scooters currently available in the country. Apart from the impressive range, it comes loaded with features such as a touchscreen display, navigation, cruise control, multiple riding modes, and connected technology. It is a good option for buyers who want both range and performance.
2. River Indie ( 160km)

The River Indie is designed for practicality. It offers a claimed range of 160km and stands out with its massive storage space.
